Very practical. A serious off road contender. High noise factor (road noise) is due to drive train configuration and can lead to some discomfort on long trips. This is the trade off on the four wheel drive versions. Although noisy, mechanically sound and reliable.

I have experienced the dreaded noise on the lock, luckily it was my front passenger side. Yes, I spent the 200.00 to get it fixed. It also caused shorts and drained my battery to the tune of buying two in nine months till we decided to get the door fixed.

I am experiencing the brake light problem, the lights look fine, but after reading the posts here will have to take a better look at the housing. Good Luck Jeepers!!!

2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4.0 from North America

Summary:

Lots of FUN!

Faults:

At over 100,000 Miles in five years, here is what went wrong; Off the lot the steering wheel was not aligned. The passenger side power window does not always work. The low level sensor inside the washer reservoir does not work. The AC compressor and lines have been replaced. The crank shaft position sensor has been replaced. It has recently started to stall while idling. The driver's seat is starting to rip. And someone put the fuel filter INSIDE the gas tank!

General Comments:

I have installed a 4" suspension lift, mud flaps, tow hitch, and auxiliary back up lights. I replaced the factory radio with a CD player and a 12 disk changer. I have a CB hard wired between the sun visors. BF Goodrich AT give me plenty of traction to actually play with my toy off road!

2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4.0 I6 from North America

Summary:

I find the Jeep Cherokee a well built, reliable vehicle that's fun to drive.

Faults:

Air conditioner evaporator leaked and had to be replaced. A+ to Lenihan Jeep in NJ for their exceptional service (covered the repair without question).

General Comments:

The Cherokee is a great "local" run-around car. It has great power and is fun to drive. I am disappointed with the excessive noise at speeds above 60mph. At 85+ it's almost deafening (OK, so you shouldn't drive 90 anyway). It just does not seem like a vehicle for the highway. I'm guessing that the noise comes from the front drive shaft vibration. Otherwise it's the perfect size vehicle, built like a tank (in a good way). Accelerates and handles great. A larger than 20 gallon fuel tank would have been nice since MPG is not great (17 mpg).

I agree with you, the Cherokee does look better with a lift. I installed a 4" suspension lift and BF Goodrich AT Tires. I get about 15 MPG. I think the noise also has to do with the box shape of the vehicle. I love my Jeep.
